It’s a genuinely pathetic take when people call McDavid a diver. He battles through more hooks and holds than anyone.

Agreed, if the rule book was actually applied, McDavid would be drawing penalties every 2nd shift. It was the same for Sid for the first half of his career.

 

[Viqsi]

Only good experiences?

He got embarrassed in the 2 games he played there in the playoffs.

Some people are into that sort of thing.

 

[McHelpus]

Zadorov is hilarious man

I dont get it

 

[flashy]

its true. its a frozen tundra here for 11 months of the year. days are forever grey.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Zadorov is hilarious man

So awesome to basically call us the best fans in the NHL
That’s why I love it here

Nobody ever accused Zadorov of being the brightest bulb on the tree. He's somehow always reminded me of a far-less skilled ice-hockey version of Rob Gronkowski.

I guess going -1 in both games there at 5on5 is a good experience for him.

I think that will swing the series in Vancouver's favor the longer it goes.

They played like this in 2022 against the Flames

So you're saying they're all 2 years older and thus won't have the same stamina to do it again?

Spent three years in Edmonton while going to university and thoroughly enjoyed the time and the city. That said, 'fans of the sports team I like are good' is ridiculously far down my list of reasons to love living somewhere.

Yup, they’re ancient at this point..no way they can keep this up

To be fair, if I were a member of that year's Calgary Flames team, I probably would have mentally blocked that entire series from my consciousness.

I was half joking but its funny…for a place with “nothing to do”, we sure are getting a ton of people from BC and Ontario moving here

Didn't edmonton wreck the flames? Going -1 may have been an accomplishment lol.

Yes, because cost of living and cost of real estate is quite high on people's lists for reasons to move somewhere.

Edit: I don't actually live in Vancouver but close enough (35km outside of it) and I could pretty much buy a mansion in Edmonton and have money left over for the price of my townhouse...and I've considered it (not just edmonton but many places) but having ALL my extended family here and kids who are happy and settled makes it tough to actually go through with it.

 

[nucks88]

i hate it when people complain about the refs. i havnt said too much about reffing all year or at all during the Preds series, but that was the worst officated game ive ever seen
hoglander got speared in the balls, petey driven headfirst in the boards, hughes cut in the face with a highstick, hughes was then slewfooted
these things happen and its time to move on.
Canucks fans knew Sutherland was going to ruin the game, everyone called it.
Whatever, Vancouver will go on to Game 3 and will be able to be more physical knowing the game will be called fair. i like their chances.

I was surprised they didn’t make Bismarck’s life more difficult…..hopefully next game….

It's like a $1,000,000+ to get into a detached house 1-1.5 hours outside of Vancouver. 600-800k for a townhouse.

That has everything to do with it.

 

[Canucks LB]

After watching the full interview, honestly, he seems pretty complementary overall, was just a really funny little dig

So Edmonton isn’t all bad then

The Alberta government advertising on Vancouver radio offering tradesman 5 grand to move to Alberta may help a bit too….

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I dont get it

He's being sarcastic and mocking the last time he played playoff hockey in Edmonton was the series when he was on the Flames. Which wasn't pretty for them.

I don't know how people are taking him seriously.

 

[IB]

Canucks playing too passively. Need to find a bit more intensity in their zone defending. Aside from a few players who have the right personality to play hard in a zone the overall team game is tentative. 97 and 29 will bury any team that gives them this much zone time

 

[KCC]

EDM should realistically be up 2-0 in this series.

 

[nucks88]

EDM should realistically be up 2-0 in this series.

And the Canucks could easily be up 2-0 …..

 

[Pure West]

Well, series on. McDavid and Draisatl were dominant and playing half the game sure helped turn this game in the Oilers favour. Hey....if you got it, flaunt it. This was not unexpected and we knew they were gonna have some games like this.

The good news for the Canucks? It's 1-1, they dominated game 1, McDavid and Draisatl had to play a dominant game, play half the game, and they still only eeked out an OT win on a lucky bounce. With Skinner in net they will always have a chance in a game, and Silovs had a much better game 2. We are also 3-0 on the road and Nashville isn't exactly Toronto when it comes to building atmosphere.

The team still believes they can win the series and they should. A 1-1 split and I think we're feeling pretty optimistic.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

EDM should realistically be up 2-0 in this series.

And we are 1 shot away from being down 0-2
